I just got caught up in the details that make 'a story' and forgot it was real lives and events, and so gave more information than I had a right to.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-34485577936851868802011-06-22T11:20:58.474-04:002011-06-22T11:20:58.474-04:00Wow.

Not having read the original post, I'm a little in the dark here, but I gather your intent was sincere.

Make no mistake, you have no idea what was going on in that period of time and if you think you do, you should put down the crack pipe and let your head clear. Your lame apology doesn't do it for me and hopefully our paths never cross. Please go back to your miserable life and leave the rest of us alone.<br />TadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-78527686928485293132011-06-21T06:48:38.991-04:002011-06-21T06:48:38.991-04:00Oh, dear....

As much as I agree my father is a wonderful man. the venom and rage hidden in your message has an obvious agenda that comes from a place of ignorance and self-righteousness. It seems even more obvious that you have no filter to discern what and what not to publicly display. nice to see some things don’t change. I personally hold myself to a much higher standard than to minimize a wonderful day with such venomous ramblings. It is not, Was not, and Will Never be acceptable to impugn, tear down or otherwise attempt to destroy another’s reputation in such a disgusting way. As for my mother she has been nothing less than someone I hold in high regard, admire and respect completely. You are no more familiar than I about what did or didn’t happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-863572405960208032011-06-20T21:42:56.523-04:002011-06-20T21:42:56.523-04:00Tammi,

Art's "Ex" did everything she could for us kids, sacraficed everything she had and honestly did it without much help from your step father. Why is it you decide now to throw stones? Maybe your married life not doing so well? Are you still married? Maybe next time you want to write a blog about family you get all the facts and then still have a little respect and dignity and keep your mouth shut. Don't ever discuss my mom or think you know the past again. As much as I dislike you and your parents, I wouldn't bring up dirt to hurt them. Maybe you should do the same.<br />TadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-24402502753432145462011-06-20T18:09:41.084-04:002011-06-20T18:09:41.084-04:00I agree Art a great guy.
